"It's getting late," Lu Beiyuan said, "Prepare in advance so you won't panic when the time comes."
There's no need for exams for the transition from elementary school; most are divided based on school districts.
Their Mocheng First Middle School has both junior and senior high, and the junior high is the best public one in Mocheng.
But not far from their home, there are quite a few private middle schools.
Among them, one has produced impressive academic results in recent years.
Lu Beiyuan's main dilemma and struggle is between these two schools.
One public, one private.
The public one is free, the private one requires tuition.
Of course, for them, the fee is not an issue.
For other considerations, they must analyze aspects like faculty, teaching, environment, both software and hardware.
Truthfully, both schools are quite similar in terms of conditions.
The private school has a better environment with more colorful activities.
